Request the permit at the earliest 4 months in advance and at the latest 1 day after you entered the LEZ.That way, you will avoid a fine.
Please note: the average processing time for a request is 14 days. You can already enter the low-emission zone, but this is at your own risk. After all, your request has not yet been officially approved. If it subsequently turns out that your request does not meet all the conditions and is therefore rejected, you may receive a fine. It is therefore best to apply for permission in advance.
